If i manually importing a pool to Freenas-11.2-U5, then it never shows up in the Gui.
Is there a way to fix this?

The command i now run for importing is
Code:
zpool import -R /mnt poolname


The reason for manually importing is a boot-loop problem with a jbod.
Everything works just fine when manually importing.
Just made a script to turn off the jbod-cabinets when booting and on again when on startup of Freenas.

Export it at the command line and import it again from the GUI.

The GUI that exists in 11.2 was only introduced a few months ago. It is what we call the new GUI and it could have some bugs in it so please file a report of this here: https://jira.ixsystems.com/projects/NAS
That way it can be investigated by the developers.

I would also be interested to understand the way your drives are connected because you list no drive controller but you list 32 "Passive" drives connected.
Your hardware details are a bit confusing.

Not only "could", but "does"--but I wouldn't consider this one of them. The behavior OP describes is perfectly consistent with the behavior of the old GUI.
